Hosted by ABI's Real Estate CommitteeThe office sector remains one of the most challenged areas of commercial real estate, with fundamentals shifting in ways that continue to test owners, lenders and tenants alike. While prime properties in select markets are benefiting from a clear flight to quality, overall leasing activity is uneven, and vacancy rates remain elevated nationwide. With billions of dollars of office-based loans in distress and higher rates with tighter underwriting colliding with declining property valuations, the office asset class continues to be a real estate sector that restructuring professionals should watch closely.The Real Estate Committee is pleased to provide a deep dive into this market from the perspective of a national bank special assets manager, a CMBS attorney and a transaction professional through a hybrid Zoom webinar and in-person program at the New York City offices of Pillsbury. The program will conclude with a live Q&A session.

This panel covers the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) with bankruptcy, intellectual property law and secured transactions law. The panelists explore several questions that current law does not address or insufficiently addresses, such as: Who owns inventions created by AI? Do inventions created by the AI owned by a debtor company become property of a debtor company’s bankruptcy estate? Can a creditor obtain a security interest and perfect a security interest in the things AI creates? Should the UCC, intellectual property law and bankruptcy law be amended to address the new world of AI? How are the new White House administration and Congress addressing these issues?

This session will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming health care, from diagnostics and treatment-planning to operational efficiency, and will address the ethical, regulatory and human-centered challenges AI brings about.

In our adversarial system, about half of us will disagree with the judge’s ruling. Yet statistically speaking, only a couple of bankruptcy-related cases reach the Supreme Court in any given term. This panel focuses on the first level of appeals to district courts or bankruptcy appellate panels, including whether the party has standing, whether the appeal is ripe and/or interlocutory, and the hot-button issue of mootness. The panelists take a practical approach to addressing the many traps for the unwary so that all of us will feel more confident in filing — or receiving a notice of — an appeal in one of our cases.
